I have some new info from the webkit guys. They use either pango or
fontconfig backend (in fedora we select the pango one), but both suffer
the same issue. The problem is believed to be in font fallback code. I
believe you know more about that stuff than I do, so I figured you might
be able to help. Here are the relevant webkit bugs (one of which has
even an ugly workaround patch):
